By MICHAEL RODRIGUEZ Managing Editor editor@sbnewspaper.com A relationship has been severed, and I don’t know how to mend it. Yet while it would appear that the ties that previously bound us have been broken, I still feel like we have something special. I don’t know … call me a hopeless romantic. Of course I’m talking …

To the Editor, The times I have used the Heaven Trail Park I have enjoyed the walks and jogging, I do. I think it’s a good venue for the people who want to exercise. The community needs it. But lately the experience has not been good. There is too much dog feces at too many …

To the Editor, An important agenda item is scheduled for the City Commission’s Jan. 18 meeting – specifically, the consideration and possible action to select a city attorney.
